sweet Jesus hasten the day



edit:

So this trailer started me thinking about the last time I was a real human animal. It also reminded me of something Ray Bradbury said about a more noble race, "They didn't try too hard to be all men and no animal." So here are some questions I've been asking myself. Maybe you will add some more. I think the list applies equally to both men and women.

can you remember the last time you

were thoroughly dirty with good black earth
and didn't shower
didn't shave
found leaves in your fur
were naked.. outside
knew that rain was a good thing
knew anything
gathered food from its source
and ate it raw
were hungry, ravenous
ran, sprinted as if for your life
yelled with your whole body
felt a loss threatened your survival
felt justified rage
were loyal
were bruised by hard work
worked for something other than money
bartered
howled exhausted at the sunset
slept on the ground
barked, growled satisfied at the sunrise
indulged your warrior spirit
played
snarled and
didn't feel guilty about wanting to just fuck
defended a child
defended her mother
fought beside his father
kissed a friend
disobeyed
